topic Custom content type with LIST constraint in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-content-type-with-list-constraint/m-p/262129#M215259 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>As a practice, I am trying to extend the custom content model in "Working with Custom Content Types", 2nd edition by Jeff Potts, which BTW is a must read. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Basically, I created an aspect sc:reviewable with a multi-value property sc:reviewer. I also created a LIST constraint sc:reviewerList - the list of allowed values are hard-coded in scModel.xml for now. The LIST constraint sc:reviewerList was applied to sc:reviewer property. The configuration was loaded to Alfresco and tomcat was restarted. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>In SomeCoCMISDataCreator.java, I tried to create a document as below</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>…</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>properties.put(PropertyIds.OBJECT_TYPE_ID, "D:sc:whitepaper,P:sc:reviewable");</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>…</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>properties.put("sc:reviewer", Arrays.asList("John Smith", "Jane Doe"));</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Somehow, the code threw an error "Constraint violation… the value is not an allowed value: John Smith". To verify the definition, I browsed to </SPAN><BR /><A href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis/type/P:sc:reviewable" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis/type/P:sc:reviewable</A><BR /><SPAN>and found "John Smith" was indeed listed as one of the cmis:choiceString/cmis:value. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Why would the code complain then? What am I missing? Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:44:51 GMT zliu 2012-02-10T21:44:51Z Custom content type with LIST constraint https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-content-type-with-list-constraint/m-p/262129#M215259 As a practice, I am trying to extend the custom content model in "Working with Custom Content Types", 2nd edition by Jeff Potts, which BTW is a must read.
